week 5 run 3

took it suuuper slow (really any slower and I’m walking) loaded up a playlist of absolute all time favs, and plodded round the park for the full 20 mins.

I definitely have a bit more in the tank - roll on week 6!

My trick to distract my rebellious mind who wants to stop for a walk - my playlist has lots of word dense songs and I’m trying to memorise them and sing along as I plod. Silly but enjoyable.

Well done !

A great run to complete.

You'll probably be smiling all day now 😬

Take your time with week 6 runs 1 and 2 as they often catch people out with going back to intervals.

is there some science behind changing up solid runs and intervals? 🧐

well done, that's brilliant!

I sing along too - it's my way of making sure I'm at a conversational pace :D

Well done! That 20 minute run is a real milestone.

Singing as you run? Not silly at all! I do it all the time. Even with people around - then I get amused at the strange looks I get (especially when I play Santana and sing in Spanish!)

Keep running and singing!

You definitely should! Sometimes I even do some twirls - although don’t try it unless you slow right down 😊

Not what you're looking for?
